AND THE WINNERS WERE. . .
LOS ROBLES G.C. - 1/4/24: Dave Bertelsen Lead the weekly money list by shooting a fine 77 in Super Gross
Dave Bertelsen
Mr. Bertelsen
(2nd) with 29 putts (1st) and a birdie to earn $42. With $39 winnings in his pocket, Perry Melillo took a T-2nd in Porter Gross (89), 1st in Partners Net, a T-2nd Putting and 1 Birdie which just edged out Bruce Simon's $36 for his 1st in Porter Gross (84), 1st in Individual Net, win along with a 3rd in Partners Net. Next with $22 was Tony "Money Bags" Giapapas for his 1st Partners (88), a T-2nd in Putts and 1/2 of a Birdie. $22 of the remaining Birdie money went to Bob Stone, (half of which would have gone toward Bruce's birdie), if his perfect 7 fairway wood hadn't gone into the hole on #13 for an exciting Eagle. Miguel Romero's 87 earned him $20 with 2nd Porter Gross, T-2nd INet, and 2nd in Partners. Ron Troncatty, with a forgettable 100 Gross still managed $11 for his 1/2 share of a drawn Birdie. Brian OBlack whose 84 topped the Super Gross division along with a 3rd in Partners Net received $10. And finally $4 was handed to Mark Vaughan because he Partnered with Miguel to take 2nd in PNet.
Simi Hills G.C. - 1/11/24: Only 5 out of the 13 players were I.T.M. this challenging windy day, headed by Ron Troncatty who fashioned an 84 to lead in the Super Gross division, so with another first in Putts (29) and a solo Birdie drawn, he grabbed $49 for the day. Close behind was Tony Giapapas whose 83 in Porter Gross led both divisions and coupled with 2nd's in Individual Net, Partner's Net, and a single Birdie brought in $43 in earnings. Next with $28 we find Mark Vaughan receiving $28 by taking a 2nd in Porter Gross (90), a 1st in Individual Net (70), a 1st in Partner's Net, and a 2nd in the Putting (30). Brian Oblack's 85 with 2nd's in Super Gross and Partners and a Birdie. Least and least (in earnings), Miguel Romero received $5 for partnering with Mr. Vaughan.
WESTLAKE VILLAGE G.C. - 1/18/24: Unlike the previous week, we had 13 of the 17 players I.T.M. featuring some not-so-stellar golf despite several tweeters along the way including a plethora of them on the short finishing hole. Atop the board was Ron Troncatty whose 73 in Super Gross, a 3rd in Partners Net and 1 1/3 in the birdie pot, earned himself $49 big ones. Winning the Porter Gross division was Tom Knickerbocker whose 78/63 and 1/3 of a birdie also cashed in Individual Net (T-2nd) for a nice $36 payday. Tieing for second in Porter was Tony Giapapas who also won the Putting prize with 32 SUPS, and shared 1/3 from the Birdie pot totalling $32. Paul Venetos took in $24 with a 2nd in Putts (33) and 1/2 of a Birdie. Jump'n Joe Cala also cashed in for $24 with 1st's in both Net categories for his fine 62 performance. With his 63 Net, big Tom Abraham pocketed $22 for a 2nd in INet and 1st in Partners. Next we find Bruce Simon (80/66) taking a T-2nd in Porter Gross a 3rd in Partners Net and 1/3 of a Birdie for a $15 payout. Bob Stone handed himself $14 for his 1/2 Birdie. Gordon Crook and Jim Sabbe with $9 each for yet another 1/3 of a Birdie. Brian Oblak $6 for 2nd in Super Gross (79). Jimmy 'Da Man' Dodds $5 for 3rd Partners. And finally, Jeff Sable (80) also with a T-2nd in Porter Gross and $3 to spend somewhere!
OLIVAS LINKS - 1/25/24: Jim Sabbe was the big winner this cool wintery day shooting 81 (2nd Super Gross) with 30 Putts (T-2nd) and 2 Birdies in the money for a grand total of $73. It was Brian Oblak however, whose 77 earned him 1st in Super, while his 28 Putts also topped the field and 1/2 a Birdie cashed in for $35 buckeroos. Craig Ferhman bested the Porter Gross field with a fine 81, and his 2nd in Partners Net and T-2nd in Putts (30) brought in $25. John Moskoff with a 66 collected $21 for his first place finishes in both Net competitions. Bruce Simon's 86 was good enough to claim 2nd place in Porter Gross, and his 69 was good enough to join Mr. Moskoff atop the Partners Net field rendering a $15 payday. Another $15 was collected by Bob Stone by virtue of his 2nd place finish in Partners Net and one half of a Birdie. Paul Venetos won $8 for a 67 and a 2nd place in Individual Net. And $3 went to Dave Bertelsen for his T-2nd with 30 SUPS.

This means it'll be a bit more time before we can begin to report work assignments for our remaining working industry members. Fingers crossed!
